Introducing FileLink®

We call FileLink® The Automated File Transfer Solution.

FileLink brings the power of mainframe oriented batch, unattended file transfer operation to the everyday world of asynchronous modem protocol (Xmodem, Zmodem, etc.).

FileLink’s design is centered around the execution of script files but the product also includes simple but very capable TTY-style terminal emulator capable of ANSI, DEC, Televideo, Wyse and other “glass teletype” terminal emulation.

By providing automated, unattended operation, FileLink can be set up to send and receive files at any time of the day or night. For example, FileLink’s powerful script language can place a call through your modem, recognize and send character strings (such as logon and password sequences), send and receive text and binary files using a variety of file transfer protocols, and detect and recover from errors.

Advanced scripting that takes advantage of FileLink’s integrated SQL database and PGP encryption/decryption capabilities is also possible.

FileLink maintains a detailed log file to record the events of a file transfer session. Each log file entry is stamped with the system date and time and records the step-by-step activity of a session for later review. Each log entry is immediately written to the log file so it is always up to date - even if your system loses power or crashes.

In summary, FileLink has been designed from the ground up as an unattended, file transfer package. Many other popular asynchronous communications packages designed for attended operation are excellent if you are there to drive, but often come up short if your needs call for unattended operation. For those times, there is FileLink.
